The researchers demonstrated that this new system converges to a stationary state under certain conditions, providing insights into how firing rates can influence neural dynamics[1]. Another ...

They found a mechanism in which firing rate regularization increased the probability of negative weights in the input, pushing the neural activities below the threshold. A similar mechanism was ...

This work provides a valuable analysis of the effect of two commonly used hyperparameters, noise amplitude and firing rate regularization, on the representations of relevant and irrelevant stimuli in ...

Traditional artificial intelligence (AI) systems are built on artificial neural networks that mimic the human brain’s neurons ...

The probe passed 6.1 million km from the solar surface, experiencing temperatures of around 980ºC NASA Goddard Space Flight ...

Idaho lawmakers are moving to bolster their newly restored firing squad as the state's primary means of execution with eight current death row inmates and the capital murder trial of student ...

Neural decoding is the study of what information is available in the electrical activity (action potentials) of individual cells or networks of neurons. Studies of neural decoding aim to identify ...

Jan. 22, 2025 — Thermal sensations are consciously differentiated as hot or cold by the brain; however, the neural mechanism that enables this differentiation is not well understood. To address ...

Individual cells in the brain light up for specific ideas. These concept neurons, once known as “Jennifer Aniston cells,” ...

The Central Nervous System and Pain Perception The central nervous system (CNS), comprising the brain and spinal cord, plays a crucial role in how the body perceives pain. Under normal circumstances, ...

When Walrus Audio introduced the MAKO Series in 2020, it was a game-changer. Their goal was to bring studio-grade effects and ...

When military personnel fire certain powerful weapons, they may be exposed to blast waves that damage blood vessels in the brain.
